Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

oh yea.

forgot about that cuz it was 4on4 to end the 3rd. didnt want any of OT.


thats brutal. if it wasnt for that 4min penalty, i think vancouver would have taken the game.

Wasnt his fault on it obviously just a bad luck penalty.

Bouncer.....Crawford did say Hedberg was "Terrible" but that was only on one account, and he appologized for it...Honestly, and i dont want to make people mad with this, But the Canucks did deserve it more, if you look at Calgarys team. they have the Goalie with the best modern day goals against average, They have the leagues leading scorer, and they have a bunch of talented rookies or sophomores. We didnt really have anything towards the end of the year.

I like Crawford, i think hes a good coach and they should keep him, (i think) he has the best record for a Vancouver coach.

And for Burke, i didnt mean to say he would get fired, his contract is up, i meant to say they wouldnt re-hire him. And i dont know why, he kept a good team core together. And he got Linden back, if we switch GM's again, some of our good key players might get traded in stupid pointless trades.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

So, since when did having less automatically mean that a team "deserves" it more? Sure, more people may be rooting for the team with less because they are the underdogs (which Vancouver really wasn't anyway), but it certainly doesn't mean that any team deserves it more than the other. If a team is well put together by management and coached well, they deserve it just as much as the team who doesn't have as much.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

I just meant because we fought without some of our key players to win the division, then get a game 7. .....And yes, we do deserve it more :P

RE: Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Only just? Oh I see. Interesting explanation.
By "we" do you mean you and me?"That was not very polite"? Yes? What about after its done?

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

I wouldnt say they deserve it more just cuz they had injured players.


I'd like to say the team that plays better deserves to win. Thats now always how it happens tho. Bad luck, hot goalie. etc. can make a team that played much better lose.

But thats hockey. thats how it goes. I cant say who played better in that series tho, the couple games i saw looked pretty evenly matched.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Your just happy because you guys get to face the Flames now, instead of Colorado. I would be too, Calgary is not a hard team, we just usually choke in key situations, ie. last night.

We had that game, but Jovo sucked in it, i dont want to point fingers, but i will, so it was primarily his fault we lost. He kept giving the puck away right in front of the net, and never kept it in the attacking zone, plus he got the penalty which carried over to OT....for shame Jovo...

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Read up bro. i wanted colarado. i said i want them earlier in the week. An easy team (which i dont flames are easy) does the wings no good. A game with Colarado really would have pumped them up to the top of thier game.

in all honesty, because of the wings unable to get pumped up for lower place teams. the flames might prove more difficult then it would have been with the avs.

And i wouldnt say you choke in tough situations. It was a closely matched series. flames are underated just cuz they didnt place as high in standings. Nucks tied it up with 5sec left. i dont call that choking. Thats somethings wings never seem to be able to do. If wings are losing in final minute, they never seem to be able to get that quick one to tie it up.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

I think that it will be easier this way though, because ive seen the old Col/Det games, and it seems like it would be full of injuries and what not, i meant Calgary was easier in comparison to Colorado....and i will read up...

(and the last 5 seconds think was lucky, all because Iginla tripped on his own stick skating backwards game Naslund the road in, and left Cooke unaccounted for, it would have been better to lose it in the last 5 seconds, instead of getting your hopes up for the 15 minute intermission, then losing 2 minutes in...it was really nerveracking...plus it sucked)...

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Leafs are up 2-0! :D

Did you guys see that hustle by Domi? Pretty damn good. Lalime should have had that second one though. Oh well.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Stupid Ottawa couldnt pull out a win....Montreal all the way though!!!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

GO LEAFS GO!

2 ugly goals by Dyke, lol.. Oh well, next round will be even more tough against Philly.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Got that right. :) I like this matchup for the Fly guys. No doubt it will be a tough series, but for some reason I feel we have an edge looking at last year's series and their four games against eachother this year.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

I agree, plus I think that the Senators are way too fast for the Flyers. I'm glad that the Maple Leafs won.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Im still pullin for the Canucks on the 17th hole though....
